The approach described resonates well with my (limited) experience using tools like Cursor/Cline and Aider, thanks for writing this up. It feels more like the waterfall-style method and it takes time to get used to it after years of test-driven/agile development.

The nice thing is that you can easily go both ways - e.g. do full "vibe coding" to build a throw-away prototype, then ask the AI for help creating documentation and end-to-end tests for it, then collaborate with it to redesign the architecture, create a new implementation plan, and start coding from scratch.
